Baby Duckie

This is another baby shower card I created for a friend using one of my favorite (now retired) baby stamp sets "Bundled in Love." I colored the duck with copic markers.

12 Tags of Christmas - Tag 3

For this tag I cut out the word Joy on my Quickutz Silhouette then cut a circle scaled to the size of my word and made it into a snowman head. The eyes were punched out with the crop-a-dile, the carrot nose was free-hand. I love this year's Designer Christmas Paper SU put out!

Silver Tree Congratulations

At this month's stamp club I tried to show case some of the different things you can do with Stampin' Up's shimmer paint. On this card we first sponged an oval background in almost amethyst, then painted platinum shimmer paint directly onto the tree stamp (from Forest Friends) and stamped. We also used the platinum shimmer paint to paint the heart we punched from the Heart to Heart punch. Two very different looks from the same paint. This picture really doesn't do the shimmer in this paint justice. It's very vibrant in person and makes for inexpensive bling on a card.

Birthday Cupcake

This is a spring fold card we did at last month's stamp club. I really like the way the folded layers of ribbon looked like real icing and the shiny sliver paper cut with the word window punch made for the perfect baking cups.

Lovely As a Tree - Thank you

Here is today's creation! It was a special order, requesting "a thank-you with a tree on it." I intended to make it more of a "spring" scene, but it appears I need more practice. It's not what I envisioned, but it's not bad.
